A reporter asked: It is reported that China and the United States reached a basic framework consensus on the TikTok issue at the Madrid talks. On September 19, the heads of state of China and the United States also exchanged views on the TikTok issue during a phone call. Can the Ministry of Commerce further introduce the relevant progress?

A: From September 14 to 15, local time, the two sides held talks in Madrid, Spain, and reached a basic framework consensus on properly solving TikTok-related issues, reducing investment barriers, and promoting related economic and trade cooperation in a cooperative manner.On the evening of September 19, the heads of state and state of the two sides held a call to openly exchange views on current China-US relations and common concerns, and make strategic guidance on the stable development of China-US relations in the next phase.

China's position on TikTok is clear, and the Chinese government respects the will of enterprises and is happy to see enterprises negotiate business on the basis of market rules and reach a solution that complies with Chinese laws and regulations and interests.We hope that the US side will move forward with China and effectively fulfill its commitments to provide an open, fair, fair and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises, including TikTok, to continue operating in the United States, and promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of China-US economic and trade relations.
